Default Ghost Plant Fungus

Has anyone here ever seen these? They're also known as Indian Pipe or Corpse Plant. I saw these on a hike this past weekend in the Adirondacks in New York.

I'm not sure it's considered a flower, even though it has one on it. It's parasitic, which I think makes it a fungus or mushroom. I could be wrong though.
